Returning my item bought on 3/16

I bought my g Tablet from them for $349.99 on 3/16. I am returning it. Also, I got one from woot this week.
[G Tablet General] jcdsilva:
I bought one from tigerdirect.ca on Sunday for $399CAD (received it Tuesday). I just emailed them and they're refunding me the $60 difference on the new price drop.
[G Tablet General] Harleyfltri:
Great Forum

Ordered mine with a 32 Gig SD card. Thanks to everyone for all the great information and all the hard work. I have no doubt I will be enjoying this for a very long time.
[G Tablet General] LucasMN:
Yea, I'm kicking myself for buying one for $100 more than the woot deal just long enough ago that I can't return it. Goodbye resale value.
[G Tablet General] Da_Sheezy:
Thank you LucasMN for the deal info, and thank you jcdsilva for pointing out Tigerdirect's 30 price protection policy... I was the one who posted the $339 deal a few weeks back and already emailed them about refunding me the difference!!! Now I don't have to bang my head against the wall while cursing WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
Yet again, guilty... just ordered 5 :(
[G Tablet General] Papa Foxtrot:
Thanks for the heads-up. Wife's been wanting one of these and the 3 bills price point was my target. She'll be happy!
[G Tablet General] Fredplex:
cool... that was nice of them.

Exact thing happened to me. I missed their $20 deal by 1 day, bought it for $399 on Sun, got it a couple of days ago and today it's on for $60 less...

So what did you say to persuade them to give you the refund?

Thanks....
[G Tablet General] Renegade8100:
man i shoulda waited for this deal instead of jumping on woot. The shipping at tiger is dirt cheap in contrast to other etailers and I could expect the product to be shipped same day. Now since woot doesn't have a real order history that shows order status, I have to basically watch it like a hawk to see when my order ships because my area is high crime. Most packages get stolen if not immediately intercepted.
[G Tablet General] gomax:
Buggah, can't order online for international delivery.

Have to make phone call.....
[G Tablet General] -BoneZ-:
Just ordered mine with 2-day shipping. $311, not bad considering Office Depot was $379 and Sears was $399.
[G Tablet General] LGCubana:
If video chats were viable, I would have no qualms in buying my 2nd unit from CC/TD/Compusa
[G Tablet General] jcdsilva:
Nothing special. The exact text of the email I sent was:

The reply I got was:

I haven't actually received the refund yet, only the promise of one. When I get I'll update this thread.
[G Tablet General] maeling:
In for one!

Many thanks to the OP and all who posted here. I did pick up one from Tiger Direct today using the posted code. :)

I dithered all day on the Woot deal finally telling myself not to buy version one of anything. Then was at Best Buy and played with the iPad one and two which sold me on the concept.

With Woot charging sales tax and Tiger not I will actually save about $2. :p
[G Tablet General] chrishaw:
Just to note, it's a few more states than that:

"We only charge tax in FL, IL, NC, TX, GA, SD and ID"

(I knew they'd have to charge tax in IL because they have a warehouse in the Chicago burbs and have a couple stores as well)
[G Tablet General] elite.:
Ordered! Thanks for the tip! Was all bent about missing the WOOT deal but happy to find it for a great price from Tiger who is a dealer.

THANKS!

is it just me?

thanks
[G Tablet General] rperkins21903:
That coupon seems to have expired. That being said got a new email last night from their Circuit City Store.

Use Code KGT24484 for the $40.00 off coupon.

Would post a link to the Circuit City Store ad, but too new to the forum to post links.

I felt bad, I had a friend who I told about the gTab, after the woot sale. He texted me yesterday asking for the link to buy one. Hes NOT tech savvy but I told him id help. The coupon code wouldnt work, then he called me saying

"I called Tigerdirect and the guy offered to go down to $339!!"

and ketp thanking me lol

I didnt wanna tell him thats standard price...
[G Tablet General] :
Id love to buy one of these suckers.. but I'm totally unable to find any store shipping to Australia... Any ideas?
[G Tablet General] mkuzminov:
Use the services of an intermediary, for example shipito.com.

The mediator provides you a virtual address in the United States, the premise comes, you redirect it to your actual address. Shipping costs can be calculated in advance.

[G Tablet General] BoulderGeek:
Was going to sell, but now that the calibration.ini trick worked, I feel a lot better about the Gtablet!
[G Tablet General] Amorget:
I got my gTab from Tiger Direct yesterday. However, I sent it off on a trip so I only had 3 or so hours with it. Overall I was very happy with it... though I am not sure I like the concept behind Android/iOS as far as usability, but with some Apps I think I am getting it so I like it.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Hate to say I told you so ... ;)

Every time I find a reason to return the tab (market, screen sensitivity, wifi sleep problem ...), it turns out there's a solution, and I'm left amazed that I paid only $300 for it.
[G Tablet General] frankencat:
I just bought one form Comp USA for $299 + tax. Charging it up now... :)
[G Tablet General] slsmag:
LOL! Can you point me to the wifi sleep solution? :)
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Well the easy solution may be to use pershoot's kernel, but I didn't think to isolate that. What I did is starts at the bottom of page two of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006112 . My wifi has yet to sleep, and after taking it off the charger at 8am this morning, as of 3:30pm, I have 62% left (light to moderate usage, but the point is that leaving wifi awake does not take much power).
[G Tablet General] Croptop:
Tigerdirect.ca has the same deal for those of you in Canada looking:

Turns out that XDA won't let me post a link so you'll just have to find it yourself under Tablet & eReaders > Tablets > Android Based

I'm torn on whether to buy this tab or not. Time to start reading some threads...
[G Tablet General] deadfraggle:
I took advantage of this deal a couple of weeks ago and don't regret it. And since our company buys frequently from TigerDirect, I even got $20 off the sale price. If I could have shelled out an extra $200, I may have bought the VPAD10 though, (as it comes with win7 installed). The Android OS is nice, but as a casual linux user, I find it somewhat crippled. It's also a little weird to see commercial apps for sale in the Market, whereas most software one can download in Ubuntu or Debian is free. No real gripe about that though - I support the developers' right to profit from their work, and most of the apps I needed anyway were free.

But back on topic, TigerDirect is great. We've never had any problems with them, and when something doesn't work, they accept our returns without question. Highly recommended. :)
[G Tablet General] jcdsilva:
Hah! Thanks for the tip.

I did already receive my $60 refund back from Tigerdirect.ca on the first price drop... Let's see if I can get a second refund on the same purchase!

Also I have a "?" counter on my market place icon. Any ideas what this is?

Rooted inspire last nite.Tried getting into recovery mode to put theme on but cant move down on volume key. it automatically goes to h boot and asks me for an update .i press down volume key for no and phone reboots . how do i get into recovery mode. Thanx
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Wrong way to ask questions.

Boot the phone up and delete the zip from your SD card that the hack process left behind. If your phone doesn't see it, it will let you select recovery.

sent from my Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Future reference - Posts questions in General sub forum.

To answer - you still have a PD98IMG.zip file on your SD card. As long as this is there, bootloader will always try to automatically update with this file through HBoot. You need to remove this file from the SD card and you'll be able to boot to recovery

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Topfar:
Hi, it appears that iskoot are shutting down and 3 are replacing it with a new app to run 3skype. It won't recognise my Diamond when I try to D/L from planet 3. Does anyone have any info on the new app and a possible solution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dilbar:
I have exactly the same problem as Topfar if anyone can help us that will be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DominikAT:
just use the original Skype Client - it does the same work.

And there are no problems with traffic, 'caus the 3skype app connects the same way directly to the skype network.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dilbar:
I had the understanding that the original skype client (downloaded from skype) is different from the 3skype app, unless you can help me how to set it up corrrectly where my data is not used up.
[Vibrant General] kmacsouris:
I have the Telus Fascinate which is the same as the Tmobile Vibrant.

I notice that when checking my battery usage that the display is using a whopping 92% of the battery. Is there a fix to reduce it?

I have automatic display unchecked and display brightness to 0.
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
Nope, but then that doesn't mean the display has used up 98% of the battery the whole time the phone has been on. I could be wrong, but the way I read that info is when the phone is awake, the screen uses the most power in relation to the other listed items. I've noticed on days when I have alot of phone calls, it listed the radio instead of display as the top user.

If you want more detailed usage, I think spare parts shows full battery stats. But I use an app called Battery Left and it has access to the full battery stats.
[Vibrant General] kmacsouris:
Thanks!

I will look into both of those apps.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
What yatina said. And i recommend using android assistant app in the market if you really want to know what exactly is draining ur battery.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Display using battery is a good thing. Means only drain is from being on rather than the other **** draining it...
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Thats never the case though.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Actually it is.

For a average user, meaning not too much phone calls etc. Display WILL always and SHOULD always be the highest.

It just says that theres no other apps acting up.

but it is good to look at MORE detailed stats than the default one though, its not that accurate.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
1 hour of display time will use approximately 20% of your battery. This is and always will be the case.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
I meant that the stats where it says more than 90% of battery had been drained on display is false. As apps and other daily uses usually contributes about 35-70% of that usage.

Screen brightness doesn't have that HUGE devastation on the battery, when it's in normal percentage ofcourse.
[Vibrant General] crazyald:
if you're worried about your display draining the battery use the app called screen filter. works like a charm
[Vibrant General] muathib:
Also, I'm not sure if this is for rooted phones only, but typing *#*#4636#*#* pulls up usage statistics like battery information and battery history. I think it gives you a better idea of what's going on with your battery.

Or remove the APKs via ADB, or by using any of the many file managers available.

You may want to wait more than 4 hours before bumping your post for something that's such low-prority as well.

i want low battery consumption android..... can someone recommend a best build with htc sense......??

what is different between DAF and CWM????

what should i do for official android market with gmail and youtube apps???

why we need extra ext3/ext4 partition for cwm built??

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] doorfixer:
I have been using Frankinstine DROID Lite v2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992430 since it was released and I can conclude, that it's the best power saver/performance ROM with HTC Sense that i have ever used

The main difference between DAF and CWM is that you can backup/restore CWM ROM's.

You need ext/ext4 if you want to use APPS2SD( save your applications and games to SD card). ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jvillejoe:

Hi could someone tell me, Is it possible to make Polish rom to HTC Touch2? without InterWrite? So I after uploading the ROM, the Polish language? I am concerned about the original Stock rom. Maybe someone could be so kind and do me like that? Thanks in advance:)
[Touch2 ROM Development] czdjj:
i think, you cant make stock rom, you must port it. So find build with your national language and import into kitchen and change build. Thats all :-)

your national code is 0415 PLK Polish Polska. Read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544445

You need to read a lot to do this. Kitchens are pretty simple now.

[Nexus One General] antiochasylum:
Some of you may already know this, however I see it popping up more and more about low sound volume on CM7 with DT apps2sd.

I have tried to reply to people and tell them a fix, however if this does not apply to you no need to continue reading.

If you get a low notification, sms, email, music volume and the CM7 db settings do not work either you must reboot into recovery and clear your cache and dalvik cache, then reboot again and your problem will be solved.

This is the work around I have been using for a while now and it must be done everytime you reboot. Sadly.

If you want to flash a kernel, clear your caches first, then flash, then reboot.

Hope this helps some people.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
...or stop using the beta version of DT.
[Nexus One General] salamandar:
And use what hater? The old version that doesn't support data2sd when all the old N1's are crippled for space? Christ I picked up a Galaxy S 4G then took it back, 1GB internal space no true apps2sd or data2sd yet?

I personally am thankful someone is continuing DT's work, Cyan sure has abandoned us.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Hater?

That's a bit harsh...
[Nexus One General] antiochasylum:
I was only trying to provide a work around for the people who like to use the DT apps2sd.

If you don't use it then you don't use it. Simple as that. However the N1 is crippled with space.

However if you have something to contribute that's fine. If not no need to post :)
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
My point was that you gave one option, while I gave another...

For the most part, the low volume appears to be more specific to the beta release of DT. I've managed to avoid the issue by using the latest stable version. Doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for most. I currently run 217 apps, with 60+ Meg of free space, and zero volume problems... I'm certainly not a DT hater...

I thought some people may wish to know that there is an alternative to wiping cache and rebooting on a daily basis?
[Nexus One General] antiochasylum:
You don't have to reboot on a daily basis only when you reboot.

And some of us like flashing betas and living on the edge.

You obviously don't have the problem so why are you still posting in this thread?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Just thinking a no frills, reduced power state, low res icons, low output, rom, that will allow the battery to possibly last 3-5 days on standby?

I would say turn it off, but what if people needed to meet up and need path info, etc...

Just curious on thoughts and if it was possible.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
You could use one of faux's orange roms which are stripped down quite a bit, flash his lv kernel, turn data off and keep your phone on airplane mode and just turn airplane mode off when you need to check for someone needing directions, etc. Would recommend bringing a car charger or solar (though don't know how good those are) just in case. Doubt you will see 5 days but if use its limited, think you could get close to 3. Will take some trial and error but keep us posted, am interested in this as well.

Edit: Forgot to mention cm7 is great on battery life as well and under clocking whichever rom you choose may help also.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Will definitely do that on trip coming up. I was thinking for dev, maybe just a dialpad and text function, remove all else, wonder how that would work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
orange glacier, lv kernel, set cpu conserv 245/4xx, 2g, gps off, bt off, brightness 10 with black background, remove all apps you don't use then backup. when you go camping restore the backup, when you get home restore your normal. should get at least 60 hrs if it's just a comm tool every once in a while. I get a consistent 30 hrs without limiting anything at all, so I'm sure more than 60 is possible.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
I actually just put in Orange Glacier too, I like it but not really sure what the difference is as of yet, Im sure its there, just not terribly noticeable.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ummm...not sure what you mean by stripped down but 260 MB isn't stripped down for glacier. As he states in his threads, both of his roms are pretty much stock.

You can set any rom with those settings and get great battery life.

Difference from what? Orange is pretty much stock but has been deodexed and a different kernel added. Also, some of the apps have been moved to a different place but are all still there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Of course, I suppose I just assumed he was on stock already. Wasn't really a plug so much as offering something similar to the "standard" user experience. No learning curve just for that 5 day camping trip, just restore/use/restore with something familiar... Use that idea with the ROM you're comfortable with and you'll have what you need.

OG does use ext4 and increased VM heap (i know it's just a number in build.prop), so some performance increases. I've always understood that efficiency=lower power consumption for same task.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
Thanks for the replies, and for clearing up some questions I had. I was using RoyalGinger 1.4 for the past week, and CM7 RC1 before that. I had recently went back to stock sense, and just flashed Orange, so I had just come off stock. So I was fresh on it. I am liking it so far. While you are here though! What is the difference between Orange Sense, and Orange Glacier? I couldn't really tell from the descriptions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Sense uses HTC's Sense overlay of froyo, Glacier uses T-Mobile/HTC's MySense overlay, which is what comes stock with the phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swisswizz:
Hi folks,

For some reason my Amon Ra recovery is now refusing to flash zip files and it look as if I'll have to reflash the recovery itself. Can I do this via ADB on an S-ON phone, and if so, how? If not, is there an alternative method? Unrevoked isn't working at this point as I have already wiped my old ROM.

Background: I think I b*ggered the recovery by having the USB cable connected at boot time. There is a mention somewhere of Clockwork mod misbehaving in these circumstances, and I think the same may apply to AR. The phone will boot into AR, but AR won't load/flash any zip files.

Please help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Via ADB? No.

S-ON? No.

You have to be s-off to flash another recovery via FASTBOOT.

Try taking out the battery and re-enter AmonRA, see if that works. Also what error you get?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swisswizz:
Thanks Davebugyl!

Sorry, no joy. There is no error at all, just AR refusing to flash the zip. I've had this once or twice before, and usually by shutting the phone down and restarting I got AR to work again. Not now.

I'm happy to S-OFF the phone with Alpharev, only I'm not sure you can do that with no ROM installed. Any thoughts?
